thank you to all whom attended the exhibition last night- it was a great joy to see you all and i truly do appreciate your support and smiling faces! thank you to all the artists involved and to Vicki Chau for curating a great exhibition-it’s an honour to share the space with you all-and i do hope we can collaborate in future projects again! ~best fuzzy memory quote of the evening: “some of us miss the darkroon-others still use it” -Julian Ferreira the artist involved: Philip BowenVicki ChauShyra De SouzaSeah EsopenkoJulian FerreiraBruce HildesheimSarah HouleAzriel KnightSanja LukacJim SlobodianMichael StellmachJamie TilstonWendy WanKyle WhiteheadFrancis A.

We were presented with a new perspective and a new way to document events, capture a moment and express an idea. Shooting on film has become an unconventional passion for a devoted few, as it typically requires more patience, diligence and care than digital photography. That is why there is so much importance in keeping with the traditional techniques of photography, where so much emphasis is placed on the process of creating the final photograph. When planning a photograph with film, you have more to consider than just composition and exposure. You also have to consider your film and paper stocks, and different types of chemical processes. Each photograph presented is created through a different process, whether it is the film stock, camera or chemicals they use, and each one contains an unexpected flaw that comes with human error, adding a personal fingerprint to the work.- Vicki Chau, Barewalls Coordinator
